First day of Jantasic tomorrow. I'm ready to go with an 8 miler!! Rock on m/.
Sorry about that.
Happy New Year folks.
Hope so Andy, my calfs were so tight! Did you manage to get out for your 8?
Ready to run tomorrow, have altered my Jantastic runs down to 3, have to be realistic, and although would love to do 4, Im only managing 1 or 2 a week building back up so 3 will be pushing myself for the time being.
Mr F, wow!!
BoDuke, you will be fine! You might lose some toenails though! Mine is just growing back!
Happy New Year to you all

Andy, your right about the sky blues. Il be there later hoping for a.much needed 3 points at the ricoh.
Already feeling a bit trimmer after Christmas by only snacking on apricots, seeds etc, cutting out all alcohol, tea coffee and soft drinks etc and drinking mainly green tea and water. A bit dull but very effective! So how have people fared with weightlpss since I was last here? And big losses to report?
Wish I had your will power Mr F, I will be avoiding the scales this week!
Mexican night with my sisters tribe planned tonight, with a small g&t, bubbly for 12, roast tomorrow lunch then run early evening.
Just off for a quick half I think....
Back to counting the calories again. Tomorrow...
Quiet night tonight. Hope to have an hour at the gym tomorrow either before or after lunch with inlaws.
Off the bottom MrF? And yes I think 3 of us have hit the 2 stone mark, Grant and Dan got there first, so it's gone well.
Hope everyone has a good night!
Hi savi, you're more than welcome to join, more views and people to motivate us will always help. Are you training for a particular event?
Thanks Andy.
I am training for the york Brass Monkey at the moment - ultimate aim is ~GNR. Never done a half before though so Jan one is more of a test the water. I am slow though.
Oh savi, there's nothing wrong with being slow. I'm not build for speed either!
Anyway I know it's a bit of a miserable few days with people returning to work etc, but don't forget to update Jantastic with your runs, it's very easy..... Would be good to see us climb the leader board.
Did my short run today, just nervously washing my running shoes after ploughing through 8 miles of mud the other day. Hope they don't come out the other end the perfect size for my 3 year old....
Happy New Year!!
Hello Savi, speed records I will not beat, but finish I will!! Good luck with your training.
Ran new years day, & have a club run tonight, don't fancy it in this rain & wind tho
Andy lol, how did they come out?
Did you manage to get out in the bad weather RFM? No run for me today although was hoping for an hour at the gym, but just ran out of time. Set myself a target for a final 10lbs weight loss between now and the marathon.
Havent heard from Dan or a while, how's the heel?
Good news!
I did get out a it was a fab run, only 3.4m but more than I have been running, and it felt good!
Was a bit windy but the rain had stopped! Yay! But did step in dog poo 
Well done Andy, you will do it! Did Grant reach his target?
Happy New Year everyone, BTW.
Been to the physio myself tonight, just after a quick 3 miles, all fine except for her 25% price rise from next week.
Will log my run on Jantastic now..
Well I eventualy got on the scales unfortunately just over 13 stone only by half a pound but peeved as I always said I would never see 13 again. Silly me! Definitely need to sort my food out.
Did you all just cut back or follow diets? I have to say I struggle sometimes when cutting back as I feel like I don't have much energy for running.
Unhealthy day today celebrating my 33rd b'day. There's gonna be an Indian takeaway, net and a bit of cake! However, I ran 18m yesterday, 10 today and planning on another decent distance run in the morning so I don't feel too guilty.
Joining in if I may. Alerted to this thread by a kindred runner on the never say never thread for Brighton. Recognise a few old monikers from last year. Must read back and see how you all doing. I have just got back into proper training after taking 5 months off running after last years marathon! Knackered Achilles and associated over use injuries. No running has equalled a stone of weight gained and I could have done with more off last year if I was really going to look like a marathoner. So 2 stone off for me too or as near as I can get beyond one and a half.
From today I'm cutting out cakes, biscuits, pastry, crisps and bread. Upping the fruit and veg, cutting down on coffee and not overdoing the salad dressings. Other thing I find really helps is getting enough sleep, definitely stops the tired eating.
Looking forward to a shrinking me and you!
Truth be told I only started running 5 years ago cos someone said runners always have lovely long slim legs. THEY LIED!
My chunky legs may be due more to the intake of biscuits and chocolate despite the running and it'll be great to have a thread to turn to every time I think to myself well I had a run today I deserve it.
So with inspiration from you all I shall be cutting out all crap and eating fruit when I want something sweet and logging on to see how everyones doing.
There's just 14 weeks till Brighton and I'm determined not to wobble over the finish line. 15lbs off here we come!!!
Forty your story sounds very familiar as i put on over a stone after doing London 18 months ago and then getting achilles injuries. Thankfully with the support of this thread i've lost the stone and another one on top. Do you have any comeback races planned?
Sarah, we have other Brighton marathoners on here so you're in good company, 15lbs sounds doable, is it your 1st marathon? And long slim legs are probably overrated anyway...
So a busy work week for me not helped by a Friday afternoon meeting in London, so it was a late return home. Just weighed myself and I'm at my pre-Xmas weight which isn't too bad, so 10lbs still to go. 9 miles for me late this afternoon, will have a look at the a Jantastic table shortly!
